chapel tuesday

Tuesday is chapel day for Micah. Which means chapel attire, long pants, black belt, button down shirt and a tie. He was not happy! But he got over it when daddy told him that even the high schoolers don't like chapel attire either. I told him he had alot of miserable Tuesdays ahead of him if he didn't figure out how to deal with it. Then I whispered to Matt that if I ever decide to give Micah a personal day to just stay home and do nothing (Which I plan on doing every once in awhile. Come on he's in kindergarten!) I will choose Tuesday to do it.

On the way to class we had to stop and take a picture. Ok, a FEW pictures.

On the way to school this morning Micah said to me, "Mommy, I really wish I could introduce you to Abby." So that is what we did, I shook her hand and introduced myself to her. I asked if I could take their picture and she handed Micah this heart and said, "here hold this for the picture." well Ok, I thought. Matt said he went to check on Micah yesterday at lunch and he stopped at the door to just watch him without Micah knowing that he was there. Matt said Micah was sitting next to Abby and they were just talking and laughing and eating together like old friends. I guess they have lunch duty together all week which means they have to help the lunch lady clean up the cafeteria. After I took their picture this morning I turned around and a lady stuck her hand out to me and said, "you must be Micah's mom. My daughter is obsessed with Micah. All she talks about at home is Micah this and Micah that." I said, "nice to meet you. I'm Lydia and they seem to really get along great." We smiled at each other and I kissed Micah goodbye. It's nice to know he is making good friends!

Though I miss having Micah around, I have been thankful for the one on one time with Beatrix. Her whole little life we have never had that. I am sure I will learn a lot about her. For now, I know she likes to read books in the car while I drive.

welcome!

You have landed yourself at the family blog of Lydia, Matt, Micah, Beatrix and Penelope. We found our way to south Florida 6 years ago already. The sun keeps us hot and the beach keeps us sane. My goal is to not become so busy that we miss out on the beautiful little things that make up our lives. Hope you enjoy your sneak peek.
